Critic Reviews of "True Believer"
TIME MagazineApril 16, 2009Woods' angry energy is clarifying as well as terrifying, and when he unleashes it (usually without warning), the effect is to focus our attention where it belongs, not on a suspense story but on the mysteries of human behavior.
Chicago Sun-TimesJanuary 01, 2000When I see Woods on the screen in the first shot of a movie I sort of smile to myself because I know that something strange and offbeat and maybe even inspired is about to happen.
Washington PostJanuary 01, 2000What counts in Believer is not what happens but how. This is as good a how as any.
Washington PostJanuary 01, 2000Ruben relies too heavily on Woods' whirring turbines to power his scenes.
Film4February 27, 2008Woods, as ever, is wired for a fight -- in or outside the courtroom. It's all Downey Jr can do to hold him back.
TV GuideFebruary 27, 2008Woods clearly relishes his chance to display a wide range of emotions within his patented maverick persona, and Downey also acquits himself well in a much less challenging role.
KFOR Channel 4 NewsDecember 15, 2003One of the best courtroom dramas ever made, and a movie that almost nobody knows about. A terrific picture.
rec.arts.movies.reviewsJanuary 01, 2000Wesley Strick gave them a good script and they made a good, solid crime mystery.
